Austin County Bonds for Highway Link to Red River Gulf
Austin county voters approved bonds totaling 175000 for the Austin County link of the Red River to the Gulf highway. A 600000 building permit was issued for the Dallas Hotel Association to erect a 22 story steel concrete fireproof hotel in Dallas. A route offering minimal road work by using natural Plains roadways could attract tourists.
